Boulder is Denver is CO Springs...all of them a libturd haven. Come to the REAL Colorado...over the Mountains on the Western Slope. Soooooooo much better!
We’ve had a summer home in the mountains west of Denver since the late ‘80s. Of the three, Colorado Springs has a large conservative / pro military population. I’d look there first.
Side note: Coloradans used to grumble about Texans. When the Californication began, all that stopped. Saw a sign some years ago that said: “At least the Texans went home after ski season”.
I’ve spent some time in Durango, and was fond of it. Good weather variety, pretty sights, and if you want a weekend in Switzerland, Ouray is right up the road. They voted for Obama (not by much) but also voted for Bush. Their Congressman’s a Republican.
